THE SYMPTOMS:
- k60 plugged in, all 'standard 108' keys work, backlight does not, media keys do not, volume does not, winLock does not and so on
- Going to Start->Devices and Printers shows keyboard as 'KBD BOOT LOADER'
- You're stark raving mad, and are not going to take it anymore!
WARNING NOTES:
- This might wreck a port on your machine where you might want to plug in the k60. By 'wreck' I mean you won't be able to use it for the k60 Keyboard Plug. I recommend using a secondary machine or alternate windows install.
